Chapter 4: Ghost City Grows
After telling his heart, Xu Mingzi's heart felt a lot more comfortable. She admits that she likes Hu Yanji, but every time, she obviously has the ability to let Hu Yanji stay, but she still can't convince herself to be that villain.
"I like him very much, and I try to get him to stay with me every time, but he never has me in his heart." Xu Mingzi smiled bitterly.
"I also liked a boy when I was in school, maybe we really didn't have a fate, I boldly confessed to him in the class, and he clearly rejected me. I don't give up, when I was doing courses in college, I switched to a group with his classmates to create opportunities for myself and him. After graduating from college, I tried my best to go to the company he was in, and guess what he told me? Chen Xian'er's voice was also a little trembling.
"What?" Xu Mingzi never knew that Chen Xian'er would also have such a time.
"He said, "Are you sick?" I said I don't like you anymore, why do you have to come to answer me? Chen Xian'er tried not to let herself cry, but her nose was still sore.
"What's the way men are now?" Xu Mingzi said angrily.
"No matter what people do, blame me for taking myself too lightly, but taking him too seriously." Chen Xian'er smiled reluctantly.
Take yourself too lightly, take him too seriously. It was the first time Xu Mingzi had heard someone say that. She smacked the sentence repeatedly, as if it did make sense. Two people in love should be fair, I like you doesn't mean that you are nobler than me and I am inferior to you, it's just that your soul attracts me and makes me want to get closer.
"Makes sense." Xu Mingzi suddenly felt enlightened.
"Isn't there a market here? You take such good care of me, do you want to try my craft? Chen Xian'er took a deep breath and changed her state.
"There's really a market, why don't I take you around?" As he spoke, Xu Mingzi was about to go out with Chen Xian'er's hand.
"Okay!"
"By the way, Xu Mingzi, let me ask you a question, I think the underworld is very good, why do so many people still choose to be reincarnated?" Chen Xian'er thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know when you've actually received the punishment." Xu Mingzi smiled weirdly, which made Chen Xian'er feel frightened.
"Okay, I won't scare you. Although this underworld is good, but the place where the punishment is still dark, the average person's sentence is within a hundred years and ten years or more, such a long sentence, it is inevitable that they will have a disgust for the underworld. Xu Mingzi explained to Chen Xian'er.
"No wonder. Will I want to be reincarnated in the future? Chen Xian'er asked.
"It doesn't matter if you want to be reincarnated, or if you want to stay. I've got your back. Xu Mingzi smiled and touched Chen Xian'er's head, just like a younger sister.
"And what punishment will I receive?" Chen Xian'er asked worriedly.
"If you don't say that I forgot, tomorrow I will go and ask someone to bring your punishment slip, if you do more good and less bad deeds, there will be no heavy punishment." After Chen Xian'er's question, Xu Mingzi remembered that he was thinking about how to play with Chen Xian'er and what to eat, and he forgot to help her with the penalty ticket.
"I ...... Xu Mingzi, do you know how long the shortest sentence is? Chen Xian'er had a whim.
"For half a year, I remember very clearly, that person is the current reincarnation king Xue Huaizhong." Xu Mingzi said firmly.
The reason why Xue Huaizhong was able to become the king of reincarnation, in addition to dying early and choosing to stay in the underworld, was that he had a pure nature and almost did almost no evil things in his life.
"What about you? He's your boss? Chen Xian'er asked curiously.
"I was sentenced to 20 years, and then I really wanted to be reincarnated right away. However, due to various reasons, it was not invested. In the end, he became a little hell king under the command of King Bian Cheng, in charge of affairs, and he could be regarded as having a livelihood. Xu Mingzi explained to Chen Xian'er.
"In this way, in addition to the King of Reincarnation and the King of Bian Cheng, are there other Hades in this underworld?" Although Chen Xian'er is already a ghost, she was directly "shady" when she entered the underworld, and she did not follow the normal ghost process, so she was not very familiar with the situation in the underworld.
"Yes, yes, I called you too early. You haven't even had time to get acquainted with it. There are ten halls of Yama kings, namely the king of Qin Guang, the king of Chujiang, the emperor of Song, the king of Qiguan, the king of Yama, the king of Biancheng, the king of Taishan, the king of the city, the king of equality, and finally the king of the wheel. Xu Mingzi reported the name of the Ten Halls of Yama very smoothly as if he was talking about Guankou.
"That's a lot!"
The two of them were chatting while shopping, and there was a supermarket not far away.
To say that this was not called a supermarket before, but a ghost market. The previous management was still very chaotic, and there was often a phenomenon of people entering the ghost market by mistake, so the king of the ten halls of Hades was also very troubled, and the living people would be found by ghosts when they entered the ghost market, and the evil ghosts cannibalism is not a matter of one or two days, and many ghosts in the underworld can't beat the cannibalistic ghosts, so they can't control it.
In the end, the Ten Halls of Hades had to send the little hell lords to stand guard in turn to protect the peace of the ghost city. Now with the standardized management of the underworld, the little hell lord does not need to come to the ghost market to manage it.
"It's kind of like a human market." Chen Xian'er sighed while storing her bag.
"Ghosts are all human!" Xu Mingzi explained to Chen Xian'er.
After storing the bag, you can swipe the prefectural citizenship card. The shopping cart follows automatically, like a robot. The items on the shelves are automatically replenished, so there will be no out-of-stocks.
"It's very safe to shop here, and you won't buy fakes. The laws and regulations of the underworld are stricter than those of the human world, and there will be no ghosts escaping. Xu Mingzi took some snacks and introduced the situation here to Chen Xian'er.
"That's good." Chen Xian'er is like a little girl from the countryside who enters the city for the first time, everything is fresh.
"What do you want to cook at night? There's the vegetable section over there, and then there's the meat. Walking to the fork in the road, Xu Mingzi stopped and asked Chen Xian'er.
"I don't know what to eat! I'm pretty good at making Northeast stew. "Chen Xian'er was a native of Northeast China before her death, and she has great feelings for Northeast cuisine.
"Okay."
Saying that, Chen Xian'er is about to go in the direction of meat, the little stupid chicken in the northeast stewed mushrooms, the most particular thing is to use the wandering chicken that grows up eating insects and the wild yellow mushrooms picked from the mountains. The potatoes are stewed softly and melt in your mouth at their best.
Turning to the meat area, Xu Mingzi was startled by a man standing by the freezer, there are people!
"You go and look at the vegetables first, I'll just choose the chicken." Xu Mingzi deliberately broke away from Chen Xian'er.
Chen Xian'er nodded ignorantly, turned around and went to the vegetable area. Seeing Chen Xian'er turn around, Xu Mingzi immediately set up an enchantment.
"The little Hell King is official, idle people, etc., evacuate immediately!" Xu Mingzi released a black air mass, which is only available to high-level little hell kings, and the little ghosts who bought meat saluted when they saw this and ran to the exit, the little hell king's office is not something they can see.
"You stay." Xu Mingzi pointed to the living person and said.
The living saw that they could not escape, so they had to stay obediently.
"Who are you? Why in this ghost market? Xu Mingzi's expression was very serious, the ghost market came to the living people, this is a big deal, could it be that there is something wrong in the underworld? It shouldn't be, since there has been standardized management in the world, this prefecture has also begun to be standardized, and it has been thousands of years now, how can this kind of problem occur.
"I ...... I'm not a ghost! The man said fearfully.
"Nonsense, if you're a ghost, I'll tell you to stay and do what!" Xu Mingzi reprimanded.
"I'm here to save people, and I don't know why I'm here." The man said tremblingly.
"Who did you save to the ghost market? Don't you want to go? Xu Mingzi threatened.
"No, no, my roommate was hooked by a ghost, and the fortune teller said that my life is hard, and I can go to the underworld to find his soul back. I said yes, and then I didn't know how to come here. The man stepped back as he spoke, for fear that Xu Mingzi would eat him alive.
"Come with me somewhere, and if that's true, I'll send you back." Xu Mingzi couldn't help but hold his forehead, what is the matter, you have to work overtime to go to the supermarket.
In the past, according to the law, when you meet a living person in the ghost market, you have to take it to King Qin Guang to check your lifespan, and if your life expectancy is less than enough and your body is still there, you can send it back to the world.
"Lao Jiang, come back and work overtime. Emergency! Xu Mingzi pressed twice and called the phone.
"What's the matter? I've done enough here, you can go straight to the bank, I'll verify the list at the bank! Jiang Yao, the king of Qin Guang on the other end of the phone, was very impatient. Originally, the matter of the evil mirror platform was enough to annoy him, but he also made a bribe, and he was investigating the bribe, and there was something wrong here.
"Another person in the ghost market has come in."
Jiang Yao was shocked, how could there be a living person in the ghost market?
"I'll go back to the office immediately, you wait for me directly in the office, did you tell Xue Huaizhong?" Jiang Yao asked.
"No, I'm just going to call him when I want to hang up the phone." There is something, how could Xu Mingzi not tell Xue Huaizhong?
"Don't fight, we're together. We'll go over later. ”
After saying hello to Chen Xian'er, Xu Mingzi took the man back to the office building first. On the 149th floor, the office of Jiang Yao, the king of Qin Guang, was locked, and Xu Mingzi had to take the man back to his 99th floor first.
"You don't have to be afraid, after verifying the situation, if you are still in good health, we can send you back." It was already off work, and Xu Mingzi had no one to send, so he could only pour a glass of warm water for the man by himself.
"What about my roommate? Will he be able to go back? Xu Mingzi couldn't imagine that this man was still affectionate and righteous, and his life might not be saved, and he was still thinking about his roommate.
"Don't worry, I'll check it out for you later." Xu Mingzi comforted: "Where is your roommate?" What is it called? ”
"His name is Hu Yanji, his real name is Hu Yanji, a native of Fengzhou, and he is now a sophomore at Fengzhou Medical University. My name is Zhao Bo, a native of Mizhou, and I go to school in Fengzhou. Zhao Bo said.
Hu Yanji, Hu Yanji, how could it be him?
